For one thing, Tosconova wood selection is based on aesthetics and quality, that is why one of the materials the company uses more is Canaletto walnut wood, with its incredible, stunning grain and its warm, gradient colour. Tosconova artisans are real experts in oak wood working as well, with their material and sophisticated texture smelling so good and so pleasant to the touch. All this is made even more interesting and precious thanks to the staining process by Tosconova: wood colour is totally customizable to suit every taste and need. In fact, from natural wood colour to wenge, Tosconova tries to give wood endless shades of colour that perfectly fit in any room of the house.
What precedes fabric selection is research work on both quality and style at Tosconova Research & Development (R&D). Also, there can be external collaborations with Italian companies that share our philosophy and create unique fabrics that widen and enrich our collections. Tosconova may also choose the latest collections by luxury brands such as Dedar Milano to give that je ne sais quoi to pieces of furniture.
Necessary clarification: while fascinated by patterns and yarns, Tosconova hasn’t forget about ethics and is against the use of fabrics of animal origin – as we all know, future trends are leather-free – for a totally cruelty-free approach to home decor. In fact, Tosconova has decided not to use real leather as upholstery material and goose down for padding. Goose down has been replaced with an innovative product: eco-flock, a padding that performs much better than goose down, is machine washable and offers extra comfort. At Tosconova, we are working on a daily basis to minimise the company’s footprint and become as cruelty–free as we can.
As per metal, a fundamental material to realise stable and lasting furniture, Tosconova artisans are skilled in brass processing, while designers shape it to frame our creations. On the other side, there’s the finishing part: Tosconova has chosen textured, shiny metal-look finishes and a design style inspired by a selection of colours. When struck by light, the different layers composing the finishing cause unexpected reflections and give thickness to the pieces of furniture. It goes without saying: they are all hand-made by the expert hands of Tosconova artisans.
Italy is well-known for a number of beauties, and above them there’s Italian marble. At Tosconova, first of all we carefully select marble stones, then we give them a contemporary matt finish or a glossy one that makes them super shiny. All of this is made in Italy from A to Z.
Design, high-level craftsmanship and the most precious raw materials are equally important, and none of Tosconova’s pieces of furniture would exist without one of the three.
